"Words are just a way we communicate. Images are a way we communicate. And I couldn't figure out why they had to be in different baskets."
"The notions of blackness linked to humor, blackness linked to the entertainer, blackness linked to the body- all of those things are embodied in or have been packaged with the caricature of the Sambo, the darkie, the pickaninnies, and products throughout early advertising, in the 19th century and well into the 20th century."
